Benjamin Moser
About this listen
In Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, Benjamin Moser uncovers a suppressed tradition that has shaped Jewish thought for generations. Through a cast of artists, rabbis, poets, lawyers, activists, journalists, and politicians—from Europe and Africa and Asia and Latin America—Moser traces a lineage of Jewish dissenters who confronted Zionism’s moral and political stakes—often at devastating personal cost, including censorship, exile, and death.
Their lives form a sweeping, global narrative that dismantles a powerful myth: that anti-Zionism is synonymous with antisemitism. Spanning continents and centuries, these voices—people from the right and the left, Reform and Orthodox, Ashkenazic and Sephardic, men and women, gay and straight—differ sharply in belief and background, yet converge on a shared warning about the consequences of a nationalist project built on exclusion. What emerges is not only a rediscovered tradition of Jewish moral thought, but a startling reappraisal of Zionism itself.
Moser’s work restores the full scale and depth of Jewish ethical imagination, affirming that Judaism is older and larger than any single political project. Lucid, unsparing, and deeply humane, Anti-Zionism cements Moser’s place as one of our foremost Jewish writers and presents a framework through which this history—and its meanings—will be understood for years to come.
Critic reviews
“A book of extraordinary moral clarity. With razor-sharp prose. . . Moser reveals the true face of the Zionist movement to colonize Palestine. Taking us from Jerusalem to Rio de Janeiro, Baghdad to Berlin, this master biographer's vivid, insightful, and affectionately drawn portraits illuminate the integrity of the defiant souls who stood in opposition.”
—Nathan Thrall, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Day in the Life of Abed Salama
“At a time when some Zionists seek to restrict freedom of speech by defining anti-Zionism as antisemitism, and some anti-zionists target Jews as if they were all Zionists, Moser's book provides an urgently necessary refutation of such conflations. I hope it will be widely read.”
—Peter Singer, author of The Life You Can Save
“Benjamin Moser has created a work that is not only necessary, but riveting. I started reading with a pen in my hand, but by the third page found I had underlined almost every sentence. What I learned in these pages has profoundly changed my understanding of history—the world's, my people's, my family's, and my own.”
